A helix arrangement of the heavy atoms can also rationalize the stereochemistry, but in the all-carbon variant of this reaction, this is a high-energy species presumably because of steric effects: Gajewski, J.

Recent theoretical work on secondary isotope effects in the elimination reaction has generally confirmed the notion that transition state structure can be inferred reasonably at sites where bond breaking occurs between carbon and another heavy atom; however, when bond breaking occurs between carbon and hydrogen, the secondary effects at carbon do not correspond to the extent of bond breaking: Glad, S. S.; Jensen, F. J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 253. This is consistent with previous work on hydride additions from NADH to carbonyl groups where the secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effect is coupled with the hydride transfer motion so anomalogously high normal effects are observed: Huskey, W. P.; Schowen, R. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1983, 105, 5704. Cha, Y.; Murray, C. J.; Klinman, J. P. Science 1989, 242, 1325.
